I run a small marketing agency (Kinvero), an education brand (PebbLearn), and this Substack where I document building in public.
6 weeks in, I realized my biggest problem: I keep building stuff nobody asked for. 12+ projects. $47 revenue. $411 overhead. The AI makes everything fast to build, which means I can waste time at unprecedented speed.
Today I split one overworked AI into 13 specialized agents. Each one runs on a schedule and delivers a file to my phone.
My mornings now:
The ones I'm most excited about:
Scout agent scans Reddit every Sunday for validated problems. It searches 13 subreddits for patterns like "wish there was a tool" and "I'd pay for" and ranks opportunities by complaint frequency, willingness to pay, and whether a free API exists to solve it. Draft Reddit replies included.
This matters because my #1 mistake was building without validation. Scout forces me to validate before I build.
What it costs:
$0 extra. Same $100/mo Claude subscription. Lighter agents use 7% of weekly budget.
The Notion dashboard:
Every agent logs to a shared Notion page. 7 databases, 27 entries on day one. I can see all scout opportunities, chief reports, seller leads, and slide pack concepts in one place.
Still early. Revenue hasn't moved yet. But now I have 13 systems doing the research, drafting, scanning, and organizing that used to eat my first 3 hours every morning.
Anyone else running multi-agent setups for their business? Curious what's working for you.
